what do we do next?

Hi everyone . We just finished filling our pool - 13,700 gsllons. The water is virgin, so all my test results are "very low". How much shock do I put in? When do I throw in the tabs? Any directions would be welcome. (Btw, the shock is in 1 pound bags).

Re: what do we do next?

Please post your initial test results. You probably have no reason to........."shock". Just put in 2-3 ppm of bleach to start. You don't want any more than that without some CYA (stabilizer) in there. You'd be better off just buying some granular CYA at Walmart to get started with. Welcome!
